Perfect Timing

Triton Poker normally livestreams its tournaments and also has a dedicated YouTube channel where it uploads content. The new partnership with Protocol Sports will enable the company to reach a wider audience as the brand will now be visible on mainstream media networks around the world.

Protocol’s existing partnership with multiple international TV and online broadcasters such as ESPN and Fox Sports in the US, as well as several major sports brands including Sky Sports and BT Sport in the UK, and other TV stations in Europe, will bolster Triton Poker’s expansion efforts. As the world remains in lockdown and people continuously look for TV or online entertainment while quarantined at home, the timing of the partnership couldn’t be better.

The new agreement will also see Protocol expand to another niche, representing a new chapter for the company. Triton Poker is an interesting addition to Protocol’s growing list of partners, enabling the company to reach new heights. The company’s Marketing President Lowell Conn said Protocol and Triton will passionately work together towards a common goal, while upholding the values of charity and sustainability.

The deal will pave the way for poker to be aligned with major sports, providing some sort of clarity on the debate over whether or not poker can be considered a real sport.
